I had the misfortune to have to travel by public transport from Redcar to Marske recently.

I arrived at the bus stop at 1.20pm, checked the timetable inside the bus shelter to find that the No 22 to take me to Cat Flatt Lane should arrive at 1.30pm.

Great, I thought. The 22 arrived on time so I climbed on but was told by the driver I needed the 64. So off I got.

I was not impressed, so went back to the timetable and sure enough, it stated that the 22 went to Cat Flatt. However, although the routes have been changed, it appears that the timetables in bus shelters have not, causing confusion.

Anyway, the 64 was due within minutes, so I didn't think much more of it. However, it failed to arrive and so I had to further wait until the 1.50pm showed up. So I waited around 30 minutes for a bus.
